Just months later in July 2006, a tsunami hit the southern coast of West Java province, causing further significant damage. The Java Reconstruction Fund (JRF) was established in 2006 at the request of the Government of Indonesia (GOI) to support the Government's recovery efforts in response to the earthquake and tsunami. The JRF supports the government's rehabilitation and reconstruction program with approximately US$94 million in grant resources provided by seven donors. The World Bank serves as Trustee of the JRF, and the fund is governed by a Steering Committee comprised of Government representatives and donors. The five projects in the JRF portfolio were in their final phase and moving towards their scheduled closing in June 2011, when disaster once again hit the region. The JRF was well positioned to respond when Mount Merapi, a volcano located on the border between Yogyakarta and Central Java, erupted on October 26, 2010. JRF operations were quickly extended until December 2012 to support the Government of Indonesia's response to the disaster. In early January 2011 the JRF Steering Committee allocated remaining available funds of US$3.5 million for the JRF Community-Based Settlement Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Project (CSRRP/Rekompak) to address housing and infrastructure needs arising after the Merapi eruptions. This was the government's first and most significant response to the Merapi disaster.
